KW Golf Club Out Miami Shores By JACK K, BURKE Sports Feature Writer The Key West Golf Club cap- tured their second — straight match from the Miami Shores Country Club this past weekend ‘on the local course by a unani- mous point score of 84 to 51. When the results of Saturday’s play was posted, there was no question what the outcome would be. One disappointing feature that ‘was noticed, was that many of the Shore’s top-notched golfers ‘were unable to make the trip, so many of the Key West members «missed out on the chance to play in this téuthament. Highlight of Saturday's match- es was the 66 posted by the Key West Golf Club pro, Joe Lopez, $Sr..He was matched with Bill Demeritt while his son, Joe, Jr., played Jim MacLaughlin, also a pro from the Shores. Joey was able to salvage 2 points in his match to give the father-son team a total of 5 points for the day's play. Sunday the Key West team did not let up and came in again with 40 more points added to the 44 they attained on Saturday, giving them their total of 84. All that the Shores could on Suncay was 23 added to their 28 which gave them a total of 51. By winning this tournament, the Golf Club maintains the trophy which is involved and it is also the third victory since its conception some three years ago. The top players for the Shores were Bob Gormly and Jack Stott. For Key West, Harry Knight, who recently ‘lost the Club Championship to Norton Harris and Gene Witzel, popu- lar Navy golfer from this area. Saturday night, for the first time in the history of the local golf club, a visiting team was entertained at the club house. In the past their facilities were limited but with the new club- house being built it is now pos- sible that all visitors can be feted without the trouble of going elsewhere, At the buffet supper, the win- ners of the Club Championship, Norton Harris, first flight Charles Yates and second flight William Saunders were presented their trophies by the runner-ups in each flight. Roy Duke, President of the local club bade the Miami Shores welcome and also stated that this affair was the official opening of the new clubhouse and he was Pleased that it happened . when the Miami Shores team was here. Joe Lopez, Sr, also. made @ few remarks on the new club- house and it was brought out that Joe was instrumental in the building of the new addition and all the party goers gave him an ovation in appreciation. Prior to his departure to Miami, By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer The left arms of Eddie Lopat and Preacher Roe hold the key to the major league pennants. Each turned in important vic- tories yesterday as the flag fever game. Lopat, the 34-year-old southpaw from Arkansas, pitched New York to a 5-1 victory over the Senators in Washington to stave off Cleve- land’s bid to pick up appreciable ground on the world champions. The Indians, however, did cut the League margin to two games with a 4, and 3-1 sweep of a double- heaver from the Browns in Cleve- lant. Roe, also a 34-year-old veteran and an Arkansan, threw a brilliant three-hitter at New York as Brook- lyn came through with a 4-1 tri- umph that snapped the Giants’ five-game winning streak and in- creased the Dodgers’ first-place games, It was just 10 days ago that Paul Richards, manager of the Chicago White Sox, said: “If Lopat can come back and win fiye games for the Yankees, the rest of us can spit on the fire and call in the dogs.” At the time Lopat was nursing a sore arm. It was doubtful if he could recover in time to help the Yankees. Since then, Steady Eddie has pitched three games and won them all. Lopat hurled an eight-hitter yes- terday and was credited with his eighth win on the strength of a grand slam home run by pinch hitter Johnny Mize, The blow came in the sixth and erased a 1-0 Wash- ington advantage. Roe’s victory proved a gigantic morale booster for the slump-rid- den Dodgers. They had dropped six of their last seven. Roe needed help, of course. It came from the booming home run bats of Gil Hodges, PeeWee Rees, Joe Black Has By GAYLE TALSOT NEW YORK — When Joe Black, the Dodgers’ great rookie relief specialist, warms up in the bullpen he always stands about six feet back of the rubber and throws the extra distance steadily until Manager Chuck Dressen calls him in to take charge. “Tive always done it,” the young Negro star explains. “From back there the plate looks much smaller and it sure helps when start pitching at the shorter dis- tance it looks big as a house and the corners seem easy: to hit.” We hadn't heard of the scheme before, but it seems fully as sen- : sible as the batter's practice of Jim MacLaughlin expressed a de- | swinging a heavy loaded bat along sire for all the local members - vho can possibly make the trip, Rife, Clem Roy Duke, 4 come to the Opening of the | Bill Plowman, V.
